Kidnapper sues his hostages for breech of contract UGH!!!!

[Don Vito Corleone]

This will be dismissed as soon as the lawyer representing the victims files a motion to dismiss.

To be clear, the kidnapper brought this suit only after the victims sued him alleging damages as a result of the kidnapping. I'm not sure why they're bothering - I can't imagine he has any assets, though one never knows. Civil litigation is costly and a pain in the ass when one party is in prison (and I speak from experience on that, having defended a police civil rights case and a personal injury case in which both plaintiffs were in prison)

I'm sure the State is going to pay the bills for all of this since he's in State custody. Just another in a long line of prisoner lawsuits that the States pay for.

State's not paying anything. The guy is pro se. No lawyer. And there's no way his suit will survive a motion to dismiss.

They are paying to transport him to and from court dates

And will the hostages have to hire an attorney to file that motion to dismiss?

The hostages are already represented - they started the litigation by suing the kidnapper (not that that excuses his suit against them, but there is always a risk of a counterclaim - in this case a frivolous one - when you sue someone).

Considering that his suit is a counter-claim, he was already going to be needing transport anyway. No additional costs.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Dimmick filed a breach of contract suit in Shawnee County District Court, in response to a suit the Rowleys filed in September seeking $75,000 from him for intruding in their home and causing emotional stress.

Spite suit. I am sure it will be dismissed.
